Mike Christie ecefe8a975 [SCSI] fix shared tag map tag allocation
When drivers use a shared tag map we can end up with more requests
than tags, because the tag map is shost->can_queue tags and there
can be sdevs * sdev->queue_depth requests. In scsi_request_fn
if tag allocation fails we just drop down to just dequeueing the
tag without a tag. The problem is that drivers using the shared tag
map rely on a valid tag always being set, because it will use the
tag number to lookup commands later.

This patch has us check if we got a valid tag when the host lock
is held right before we check if the host queue is ready. We do the
check here because to allocate the tag we need the q lock, but
if the tag is bad we want to add the device/q onto the starved list
which requires the host lock.

Mike Christie 885ace9e2f [SCSI] fix shared tag map setup
Currently qla4xxx and stex pass in their can_queue values into
scsi_activate_tcq because they wanted the tag map that large.
The problem with this is that it ends up also setting the queue
depth to that large value. All we want to do this in this case
is set the device queue depth and the other device settings.
We do not need to touch the tag map sizing because the drivers
had setup that map according to their can_queue limits when the
shared map was created.

The scsi mid layer in request_fn will then handle the case where we
have more requests than available tags when it checks the host
queue ready function.

Secondly, scheduled rport removal is handled exclusively by the

Arthur Jones 124682c785 edac: core fix added newline to sysfs dimm labels
The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code.
However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a
newline embedded.  This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks
funny when cat'ing it.  Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs
chX_dimm_label output...

[Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC.
User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label
fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen

displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

/sys/devices/system/edac/mc has a few files which are duplicated in
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters.  Now that all the functionality is
duplicated between these two locations, we remove the former kobject
attributes and update the documentation.
